    As a teenager in the 70s, I couldn't resist this one!! Hope it's as good as Sandy's fanzine offerings.

    I bumped into Sandy at ER a couple of months back and he was telling me this book would be out shortly, i better start dropping hints to Mrs OS.
    Having known Sandy since the late 70's i might even be caught up in various incidents in the book.

    Having a bit of a nightmare getting hold of this book and need it today for a Christmas present.

    Amazon don't have it in stock, Waterstones at Ocean Terminal don't have it, as is the case with both the Club Store and the programme shop on Albion Road.

    Anyone know where I can pick it up?

    Don't bother - was there this afternoon and they had none in stock. A bit annoyed as I wasted a couple of hours today hunting this book down but to no avail. What's the point in writing a book if nobody can buy it?!

    Did you try the Four in Hand?

    There were copies on sale there when I was in before the match last week.

    I assume this is where my auld man got his, And I think he told me Sandy was in as well. I'm going to steal it off him once he's done reading it.

    Yup - Waterstones Ocean Terminal, Hibs shop, Four in Hand and Blackwells South Bridge. Not one copy to be found! Seems mad when it was being heavily advertised by young laddies handing out flyers before the game last week.

    They've got a FB page so might be able to ask the question there if it's not to late.

    Hi folks, just spoke to Sandy and he's saying that a bit of trouble with the distributers of the book

    However, he hopes to do a signing in Tamsons on Saturday before the Huns game so you can get a copy

    He's gonna text me if its going ahead so as soon as I find out I will post it here :-)
